  "abstract": "We demonstrate a robust and efficient way of controlling the optical spectra of two-dimensional materials by embedding them in a quantum cavity. The strength of the cavity light-matter coupling leads to superposition of bright and dark excitons making viable the optical observation of dark excitons. Our theoretical calculations are based on a newly developed theoretical framework that involves the ab-initio solution of the coupled quantized electron-photon Schr\\\"odinger equation in a quantum-electrodynamics plus Bethe-Salpeter approach. It enables the simulations of exciton-polariton states and their dispersion in a strong cavity light-matter coupling regime. We then develop a general Mott-Wannier model for this excitonic-polariton cavity problem which can be readily applied to a wider range of applications of van-der-Waals heterostructure materials in cavities.",
